You can't just shoot out these one-liners without support for your claim by citing actual numbers or giving a link to a reliable source.

Obama, in the first 100 days, has outspent all previous administrations.

btw, I don't consider the Boston Globe to be objective reporting; and I would not go to its editorials for credible information.
You can shoot the messenger, but it's true that Bush did not apply the war costs to "his" deficit. I supported what I said.

Here is a copy of Bush's last budget for your analysis. There is no way I can analyze it; I'm not a financial person:

Here's Obama's:

Again, that's not what was asked. I con only conclude that you cannot support your assertion regarding the difference in spending when you tried to shoot down the earlier post about the excessive spending of the current administration. OK. We can let it go at that. That's off topic anyway

Then I suggest you stick with the Worldnetdaily, no editors, no fact checking, no Pulitzers, by the way the Globe has 20.
